When the Music Stops: The Elephants Stink - Book One

by Jax Resto

The first in this circus saga depicts the life of young circus daredevil Nick, born and raised in the circus by Polish acrobat and human cannonball Krzysztof Piotrowski, and American showgirl turned aerialist Jeni Messina, who ran away from her life as a Yale college student to join the circus. As Nick celebrates his sixteenth birthday, the family gets closer to leaving the circus to fulfill Jeni’s promise that they would leave once Nick became of college age. But, Nick who only knows the circus, has eyes for Bulgarian teeter board acrobat Magdalena Kovaczevi. As he sets off to spot his parents' aerial act, he can’t stop thinking about Magdalena and the clandestine meeting she proposed behind the wardrobe boxes near Clown Alley. Find out how this single event will impact Nick’s life forever.

Great Book!

I was sucked in from page one, and I couldn't put it down till the end! Jax Restored has a way of eloquently painting each moment with words that capture your heart and mind. As she walks you down the rocky road of show business, and peels back the curtains, the reader is allowed a glimpse into the ups and downs of circus life. You will laugh, you will cry, but most of all . . . you will love getting lost in this marvelous story! Two hearty thumbs up for Book One! Can't wait for Book Two!
